and now, to our middle east newsroom, are things getting any better on the streets in syria? >>reporter: it depends on what standard you use. the latest reports from syria say the government is now going back to tear gassing protesters rather than using open artillery shells against them so that, in a way, it is an improvement. the latest video shows the tanks being pulled out of that city which was a relief to the citizens there because early in the week the tanks were used to level entire neighborhoods as the tanks left, 70,000 people took to the street where this rebellion began. the people are certainly voicing their disgust with president assad and his tactics, and now they have not been able to protest for a long time because the tank would have opened fire on them. what we have not seen, in any way, is a hit in the armor of the regime. >>trace: what about the observers? can they actually do any good? >>reporter: a little bit in the sense that the tanks have left. but what they cannot do is stop the violence. they are unarmed. all they can do is report back on what they
